This lady is truly delusional, the oil reserve is not there for bad policy decisions. The regime is so out of touch.

Remember when Trump had rebuilt the strategic reserves to a 50 year high and prices at the pump were under $2? Yeah, so do I.

[TheREALLibertyOrDeath]

It’s for National security, not bad policy

[briettaattans]

The supply disruption in the United States was caused with a stroke of a pen by President Biden on day one and we have suffered ever since.

Dang, she is such a huge liar. The reserves are there for a war or for an emergency. Bringing down gas prices is neither. Watch how she cannot look at the audience, either she closes her eyes or looks down, classic signs of a liar.

Why don't they just admit they failed?

[yota]

Remember when the strategic reserves were to be used for actual emergencies like global disruptions or war vs slush to cover up failed policies??

[tcmurray]

Her and Biden have sharp tongues that can spit out lies...

[truthwarrior]

It’s our EMERGENCY reserve not our political reserve!!!

400 million barrels is half of what we need in a war crisis

Putin's War, Putin's War, Putin's War. Russia, Russia, Russia.

It’s there to protect the country during war not for failed policies

[ericheine]

Reserve it's just before empty like on the gas gauge in your car.

[joelmickles]

The strategic reserve was not meant to be used for political gain and mask bad policies.

"Blinky McBobblehead" has NO idea of what the SPR, where it is located, how much oil is in the "reserve" or how it is released to the market.

[breakingtheidols]

Basically we need to use the reserve because biden is doing a crappy job. Also he needs what trump built up to try to look good. #FJB #redwave

[mycamguy]

I thought the oil reserves were for the United States to use, not for it to be sold to the highest bidder overseas.
But hey, i guess they must know better, eh?

[lisaserrano]

Why oil from reserve is it going to take away the cost of the bills🤔
